The Show,

will soon come to an end,


as the Durham Transportation Department has announced that the overpass, after standing at the same height for 100 years, is being raised, the bridge has had so many low clearance accidents that in 2008, Jürgen Henn set up a camera to catch them, the videos on his website, 11 Foot 8, made the Gregson Street trestle famous for its frequent can opener crashes, the underpass in Durham, North Carolina, that has a clearance of just 11 feet, 8 inches, and as can be seen, is not high enough in many cases, there is another video of incidents from this underpass, the 12-minute documentary OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN, as they say, nothing lasts forever, in this case just the 50 or so years this bridge has been catching truck drivers out, photograph myharden.
